The Sacred Artifact, capable of embodying the Wind Law Origin, is inherently extraordinary; it might once have been the weapon of a certain legendary figure from the Elf Kingdom. The Thunderbolt Divine Sword, which Austin nurtured for over two months, could cleave it in one strike, which speaks volumes about its power. Even a legend, if not cautious, could risk severe injury or demise if pierced by that sword. Although the body of the Thunderbolt Divine Sword eventually shattered, its achievements were already remarkably impressive. The nurtured state was still short in duration; had it been nurtured for another ten years or so, perhaps even the legendary would not dare to face its edge directly. However, there were still flaws. The Thunderbolt Divine Sword, once unsheathed, does not return; it perishes with the enemy, an exchange of destruction. Flaws naturally need improvement. With his ongoing exploration and reflection on nurturing the Thunderbolt Divine Sword, Austin gained a deeper understanding of this method and, combined with his previous experiences, had ideas on how to modify it. "Formless from form, in the intangible form; perhaps, I need not be confined to the substantial mediums shaped by elemental attribute to forge the longsword." Inspired by the Wind Sword that evolved from Wind Blade, Austin developed further ideas. Previously, the Thunderbolt Divine Sword was based on the thunder attribute's Thunder Sword, then augmented by Thunder Law to enhance its power. Now, Austin sought to employ another concept. With Law as the bone, and element as the flesh and blood. By condensing the Power of Laws, shaping it with Spiritual Power into a longsword form, and coating it with elemental power, a new Thunderbolt Longsword would finally be crafted. The Wind Sword follows this pattern as well, with the Law of Wind as its core. Thus, the two swords reside between form and formlessness, also able to be nurtured internally. "The Law Divine Sword no longer remains a tangible object but a conceptual entity, so whether it shatters after being unsheathed doesn't matter; it can be recreated with a mere thought." If this idea could truly succeed, then in future battles, there would be no need to worry about the embodiment shattering after a moment of eruption. "Let's begin, the evolved form of the Law Longsword." Austin closed his eyes, diving inward with his heart spirit, beginning his attempt. Actually, he had already considered altering the existence form of the Law Longsword. That Thunderbolt Divine Sword, nurtured for over two months, held incredible power; however, Austin sensed that its power had seemingly reached an upper limit. The longsword formed through thunder attribute changes couldn't withstand power beyond its own level. Nurturing it further might eventually lead to inevitable collapse. Thus, the Thunderbolt Divine Sword had its limits, almost reaching them after being nurtured for more than two months. In the mountains, Austin began his attempts repeatedly. Once again, the sky was enveloped in thick clouds, filled with lightning and thunder, and this time, terrifying gale winds swept all around. The mountain range remained undisturbed, allowing him to focus intently on the present task. Should these attempts succeed, it would mean Austin could simultaneously forge another sword containing the Law of Wind while improving the Thunderbolt Divine Sword. If the Wind and Thunder Swords could be successfully forged, Austin's prowess would ascend to another level. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had elapsed. During Austin's retreat, the Dragon Nest Tribe had not halted its development. The elf peasant captives were trained and transformed, integrated into the Dragon Nest Tribe's Beastman system, significantly enhancing the tribe's strength. With abundant labor resources, the vast fields cultivated in the first encampment and the first crop of kudzu had yielded a substantial harvest. The elves, adept with plants, indeed proved to be skilled hands at cultivation. Combining the Dragon Nest Tribe's years of farming experience with the elves' innate talents, the first kudzu harvest was bountiful. The fields opened in the first encampment, coupled with the main base's nearby field harvests, provided enough grain to sustain the entire tribe for half a year. Over three months of the scorching summer had passed, leaving five to six months before the cold winter, allowing several more kudzu planting seasons. This year, ample grain supply was undoubtedly assured. A bountiful harvest of grain remains the greatest joy for every sentient being surviving in the Kawa Great Forest. Updates are released by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 Even the Elf Kingdom houses many impoverished elf peasants. In the face of looming threats, the Elf Kingdom dares not expand extensively, thus relying solely on existing territorial resources to support tens of thousands of elves; naturally, this does not yield wealth. With this bountiful harvest, the transformed elves developed a sense of belonging to the Dragon Nest Tribe. Now, even if the Elf Kingdom's upper echelons lift the confinement, rebellious elf elders won't garner much support. With abundant grain, as part of Austin's expansion plan laid out in early spring, the Dragon Nest Beastman Legion set forth to sweep across the land. Using the first encampment as the core, with numerous trained Blood Wolves leading the way, they began conquering one small tribe after another, escorting large numbers of beastman prisoners back to the encampment to bolster the Dragon Nest Tribe's beastman population. The outbreak of sweeping warfare engulfed the area around the encampment in flames of conflict. Many beastman tribes fiercely resisted, yet under the overwhelming strength of the Dragon Nest Tribe, they crumbled like dry leaves against a strong wind. More beastman tribes, witnessing the immense power of the Dragon Nest Legion, directly surrendered. In a short time, the Dragon Nest Tribe's population swelled once more. Including the many elf inhabitants, the Dragon Nest Tribe's population skyrocketed to over eighty thousand in a short span! Seeing further expansion could lead to indigestion, the Dragon Nest Tribe temporarily halted its expansion, turning focus on absorbing its current strength. Transforming many captives into foundational strength was an extensive project, but fortunately, the Dragon Nest Tribe had long walked the path of external war expansion, thus possessing experience in all related processes. With the Dragon Nest Tribe temporarily pausing its expansion, the surroundings of the encampment settled once again. Yet, any smart beastman nearby knew this was merely a truce before the next round of warfare. Following this expansion, the territory within a thirty-kilometer radius around the first encampment, dominated by the Dragon Nest Legion, was firmly under its control. This meant the first encampment would be securely established, governing the nearby territory. The encampment's expansion plan had already succeeded!
